On July 9, 2019 the resort finish a multi year re-imagineering and expansion that included the addition of the Gran Destino Tower. To learn more about the Gran Destino Tower here are the initial press releases.

I stayed at the Coronado Springs resort in 1998, over 20 years before the remodel so I have no recent stay to share. I have spent some time walking the grounds over the years and the new Gran Destino Tower dominates the view now.

The resort seemed extremely well laid out with very nice rooms. They are very equivalent to the other Moderate Priced resorts. The pool area is themed like a central American temple, with a water slide and all. Because of the large number of conventions you have a higher chance of there being less young children running around the resort than the other moderate resorts, but remember this is Disney World, and many convention people bring their families along too, so its hard to tell what you will find when you go.

We stayed on the side of the lagoon closest to the main building, but opposite the convention center. It seemed like a very convenient location to be within a short walk of the main building, but away from the possible noise of the convention center.

• Barcelona Lounge – On the ground floor of the two-story lobby in Gran Destino Tower, this dramatic yet casual space offers a European coffee experience paired with Spanish and classic American pastries as well as healthy breakfast items. The city of Barcelona inspired the eclectic patterns and warm colors, including the stained-glass feature wall behind the bar. Under a magnificent chandelier, the space transforms throughout the day, transitioning by late morning to an artisanal cocktail bar with a variety of tonics to complement an international gin collection. Those tonics include the resort’s own house-crafted, signature Gran Destino Gin Tonic. Guests can linger over lake views while enjoying select wines and craft beers from both Spain and California. Dishes of cheeses, olives and more, paired with sourdough, are served beginning at 11 a.m.
• Chronos Club – With its casual yet intimate shadings, this bright, open-air club-access space located on the 15th floor of Gran Destino Tower is perfect for unwinding and enjoying light refreshments throughout the day. Chronos Club offers lake views and a Barcelona vibe with its cooler color palette.
